Representative Text

1 Jesus, I come to thee,
Longing for rest;
Fold thou thy weary child
Safe to thy breast.

Chorus:
Rocked on a stormy sea,
Oh, be not far from me.
Lord, let me cling to thee,
Only to thee.

2 Jesus, I come to thee,
Hear thou my cry;
Save, or I perish, Lord,
Save or I die. [Chorus]

3 Now let the rolling waves
Bend to thy will,
Say to the troubled deep,
Peace, peace be still. [Chorus]

4 Swiftly the parting clouds
Fade from my sight;
Yonder thy bow appears,
Lovely and bright. [Chorus]
